Major event, minor indirect connection

About 20 years ago my spouse was invited by the Canadian government to participate in a citizen forum on what Canada should do with its nuclear waste. She went on a plane and was booked into a hotel and fed for 3 days, all paid for.

I mention this because there is finally some decisions being made and we were reminiscing.

Kind of genre specific, but The Warriors/Outsiders combo is early GenX. The soundtracks are amazing.

I have an inexpensive desktop plugged into my tv, for watching shows and movies. My laptop is my main computer, plugged in to a monitor and surround speakers. My phone is for laying on the couch scrolling brainrot.

Let them eat cake, with no eggs. Just flour and water cake.

Writing developed quite a bit since then. It's a lot about cognitive efficiency. Upper case letters and other grammatical cues aid in efficiency. not using these conventions benefits the writer but not the reader

The Six Million Dollar Man. I became fascinated with this show recently, I find it amusing.

WKRP in Cincinnati is pretty funny too.

I was watching some of The Jeffersons episodes recently, it was on for 11 years. It's a spin-off of All In The Family. Movin' on up!

In a quiet lot, on a bench under a tree.

Alot is incorrect and is close to allot. Lot is a pretty confusing word in english, like it's possible to have a lot of lots, each a particular allotment maybe. A lot is both one and many, one single lot, or many things, a lot of things. Hope that clears it up haha.

I think the word lot comes from allotment.
